Protein simulation systems were prepared with the CHARMM-GUI.28 (link) Briefly, protein structures taken from corresponding protein data bank29 (link) files were solvated in pre-equilibrated cubic TIP3P water boxes of suitable sizes and counter-ions were added to keep systems neutral as detailed in Table 1. Periodic boundary conditions were applied and Lennard-Jones (LJ) interactions were truncated at 12 Å with a force switch smoothing function from 10 Å to 12 Å. The non-bonded interaction lists were generated with a distance cutoff of 16 Å and updated heuristically. Electrostatic interactions were calculated using the particle mesh Ewald method30 with a real space cutoff of 12 Å on an approximately 1 Å grid with 6th order spline. Covalent bonds to hydrogen atoms were constrained by SHAKE.31 After a 200 step Steepest Descent (SD) minimization with the protein fixed and another 200 steps without the protein fixed, the systems were first heated to 300 K and then subjected to a 100 ps NVT simulation followed by a 100 ps NPT simulation. The minimization, heating and initial equilibrium was performed with CHARMM,32 (link) and the resultant structures were used to start simulations in NAMD.33 (link) After a 1 ns NPT simulation as equilibration, the production simulations were run for 100 ns in the NVT ensemble (see Table 1). For HEWL NPT ensembles were generated to better compare with previous work that found CMAP helps to better reproduced order parameter S2,34 (link) and simulations were extended to 200 ns to reduce the uncertainty of the computed S2. Langevin thermostat with a damping factor of 5 ps−1 was used for NVT simulation and the Nosé-Hoover Langevin piston method with a barostat oscillation time scale of 200 fs was further applied for the NPT simulation at 300 K and 1 atm. The time step equals 2 fs and coordinates were stored every 10 ps. For each protein the above simulation protocol was applied with the C36 and C22/CMAP FFs, while for ubiquitin an additional 1.2 μs trajectories with C36 was generated. This long simulation is used to check the convergence and also to examine whether computed NMR data deteriorate over a longer simulation time, as it was reported that RDCs significantly deviate from experimental values after approximately 500 ns simulations with the C22 FF.22 (link)

Three kinds of quickly identified initial alignments are exploited. The first type of initial alignment is obtained by aligning the secondary structures (SSs) of two proteins using dynamic programming (DP) (19 (link)). The element of the score matrix is assigned to be 1 or 0 depending on whether or not the SS elements of aligned residues are identical. Here, a penalty of −1 for gap-opening works the best. For a given residue, an SS state (α, β or coil) is assigned based on the Cα coordinates of five neighboring residues, i.e. ith residue is assigned as α(β) when
|dj,j+kλkα(β)|<δα(β),(j=i2,i1,ik=2,3,4)
is satisfied for all dj,j+k that denotes the Cα distance between the jth and (j + k)th residues; otherwise, it is assigned to be a coil. The final assignment is further smoothed by merging and removing singlet SS states. We note that the set of eight parameters are optimized based on 100 non-homologous training proteins by maximizing the SS assignment similarity to the DSSP definition (20 (link)), which defines protein SS elements on the basis of hydrogen bond patterns and requires the full set of backbone atomic coordinates. The optimized parameters are λ2α=5.45Å , λ3α=5.18Å , λ4α=6.37Å , δα = 2.1 Å, λ2β=6.1Å , λ3β=10.4Å , λ4β=13Å , δβ = 1.42 Å. Using Equation 1, we achieve an average Q3 accuracy of 85% with respect to the DSSP assignment for the representative 1489 non-homologous test protein set used in Ref. (8 (link)).
The second type of initial alignment is based on the gapless matching of two structures. As in SAL (18 (link)), for the smaller of the two compared proteins, we perform gapless threading against the larger structure, but rather than use RMSD as the comparison metric as was done in SAL, now the alignment with the best TM-score is selected.
The third initial alignment is also obtained by DP using a gap-opening penalty of −1, but the score matrix is a half/half combination of the SS score matrix and the distance score matrix selected in the second initial alignment.

In restrained refinement, extra information is introduced through the term Trestraints with some weight (1). This extra term restrains model parameters to be similar, but not necessarily identical, to some reference values. At high to medium resolutions of approximately 3 Å or better, a standard set of restraints as implemented in PHENIX includes (Grosse-Kunstleve & Adams, 2004 ▸ (no links found)) restraints on covalent bond lengths and angles, dihedral angles, planarity and chirality restraints, and a nonbonded repulsion term. However, at lower resolutions the amount of experimental data is insufficient to preserve the geometry characteristics of a higher level of structural organization (such as secondary structure), and therefore including extra information (restraints or constraints) to help to produce a chemically meaningful model is desirable. These extra restraints or constraints may include similarity of related copies (NCS in the case of crystallography), restraints on secondary structure and restraints to one or more external reference models (for implementation details in PHENIX, see Headd et al., 2012 ▸ , 2014 ▸ ; Sobolev et al., 2015 ▸ ). phenix.real_space_refine can use the following extra restraints and constraints.

(i) Distance and angle restraints on hydrogen-bond patterns for protein helices and sheets and DNA/RNA base pairs.

(ii) Torsion-angle restraints on idealized protein secondary-structure fragments.

(iii) Restraints to maintain stacking bases in RNA/DNA parallel.

(iv) Ramachandran plot restraints.

(v) Amino-acid side-chain rotamer-specific restraints.

(vi) Cβ deviation restraints.

(vii) Reference-model restraints, where a reference model may be a similar structure of better quality or the initial position of the model being refined.

(viii) Similarity restraints in torsion or Cartesian space.

(ix) NCS constraints.

Ala3, Ala5, Ala7, Val3, and Gly3 were simulated in the NPT ensemble at 298K and 1 atm pressure under periodic boundary conditions. All peptides were unblocked and had protonated C-termini (experimental pH is ~2)31 (link). Initial box sizes were 32.13 Å3, 34.56 Å3, and 38.34 Å3 for tri-, penta-, and heptapeptides, respectively. PME summation32 was used to calculate the electrostatic interactions with a real-space cutoff set to 12 Å and a 1 Å grid spacing while the LJ interactions were treated with a switching function from 10 to 12 Å. The equations of motion were integrated with a 2 fs time step while SHAKE was used to constrain covalent bonds involving non-water hydrogen bonds and SETTLE33 was used to maintain rigid water geometries. All of the peptides were simulated for 400 ns each with the new force field. In addition, Ala5 was also simulated for 200 ns with the previous C22/CMAP force field16 (link), Amber ff99SB9 (link), Amber ff99SB*7 (link), OPLS-AA34 , and Gromos 53a635 (link). All of the simulations were carried out with NAMD version 2.7b2. The equilibration protocol for all of the simulations consisted of initial minimization followed by step-wise heating to 298K. Simulations of zwitterionic GPGG were run using GROMACS with a 30 Å cubic box for 100 ns at 300 K, using the same non-bonded treatment, thermostat and barostat as those for Ac-(AAQAA)3-NH2 below.

Autodock uses interaction maps for docking. Prior to the actual docking run these maps are calculated by the program autogrid. For each ligand atom type, the interaction energy between the ligand atom and the receptor is calculated for the entire binding site which is discretized through a grid. This has the advantage that interaction energies do not have to be calculated at each step of the docking process but only looked up in the respective grid map. In addition to speeding up a docking runs the grid maps on their own can also provide value hints for ligand optimization. Since a grid map represents the interaction energy as a function of the coordinates their visual inspection may reveal potential unsaturated hydrogen acceptors or donors or unfavourable overlaps between the ligand and the receptor. The plugin therefore provides the functionality to visualize these grid maps in PyMOL. The maps generated by autogrid are converted to a file format readable by PyMOL (DX format) which allows to draw isosurfaces and isomeshes analogous to electron density maps. Since several maps can be loaded and controlled simultaneously, a rapid inspection of several interaction types is made very easily. Figure 3 shows how these grid maps can be controlled via the plugin.

Autodock grid maps displayed with different contour levels. a Map for interactions of aliphatic carbon atoms at contour level 5 kcal/mol. b Same map at contour level −0.3 kcal/mol. c Hydrogen bond donor map at contour level −0.5 kcal/mol

In Fig. 3A an isosurface at a contour level of 5 kcal/mol for the interaction of the protein with aliphatic carbon atoms is shown. Such a setting may be used to get a visual impression of the overall shape of the binding site. Ligand modifications which cause a penetration of such a wall will most likely not enhance the affinity. In Fig. 3B the same map is visualized at a contour level of −0.3 kcal/mol. As can be seen, the shape of the surface, here shown as isomesh, roughly describes an envelope of the ligand and reveals putative spots of attractive interactions that may guide further ligand optimization. Likewise, hydrogen bond donor or acceptor interaction maps can guide ligand optimization since they might reveal unsaturated acceptor or donor positions (Fig. 3C).
The plugin provides functionality to handle different interaction maps and representations at different contour levels at the same time and hence, offers the possibility to visualize different binding site properties which may provide valuable insights for structure-based drug design.

Molecular modeling study based upon the co-crystal structure of ALK with Alectinib (PDB: 3AOX) (Sakamoto, H. et al., Cancer Cell 2011, 19, 679) was performed to assess the structure-activity relationship of inhibition of ALK and/or ALK mutants by the compounds of the present application. The modeling showed that Compound 6 makes the same backbone hinge contact as Alectinib, however, Compound 6 forms two additional hydrogen bond interactions between the guanidine moiety of R1120 and the carbonyl group of the dimethyl acetamide group (FIG. 1A). Furthermore, in the G1202R mutant, Compound 6 forms an additional hydrogen bond interaction between the guanidine moiety of R1202 and the nitrogen of the pyrazole ring (FIG. 1B). The modeling study predicted that the methylene spacer between the pyrazole ring and the dimethylacetamide moiety is preferable for the carbonyl amide of Compound 6 to interact with the guanidine moiety of R1120.

namely, phytochemicals in IMPPAT 1.0 and three collections of small
molecules obtained from Clemons et al.(52 (link)) corresponding to 6152 commercial compounds (CC),
5963 diversity-oriented synthesis compounds (DC’), and 2477
natural products (NP). For each compound in the above-mentioned five
chemical spaces, we computed using RDKit88 two size-independent metrics, namely, stereochemical complexity,
which is the fraction of stereogenic carbon atoms in a compound, and
shape complexity, which is the ratio of sp3-hybridized
carbon atoms to the total number of sp2- and sp3-hybridized carbon atoms in a compound, and six other physicochemical
properties, namely, molecular weight, log P, topological polar surface
area, number of hydrogen bond donors, number of hydrogen bond acceptors,
and number of rotatable bonds.
